The last thing the world ever expected was for a group of skinny, swollen haired yougsters, lead by a short, whinny voiced twelve year old to rule the 70's in the same fashion the Beatles dominated the 60's. The world just wasn't ready for the ridiculous amount of talent these young men possessed. Who do I speak of you ask?? Why, only the Jackson 5 of course! Once upon a time The Jackson 5 were all the rage. In fact some of you who read this blog can remember the days of Jackson Mania, Maybe even you were a victim of the Teeny boppers charisma. I am a Jackson fan of a new generation. When the J5ive were in there hayday I wasn't even a mere thought but I have found myself to have fallen madly in love with the soulful sounds of these brothers. My intentions for this blog is present this Funky, Bad(In a very good way!) group to a younger generation and maybe help the older generation fall in love with these boys again. Lets face it, every boy band, or band for that matter that has come after the Jackson 5 has not since been able to hold a candle to these boys. Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael each hold their own candle that shines brighter than any other group. In their own sense they are the children of the light. The Jackson 5 is truly an example of how children can pave the way for a new generation and generations to come. So come with me, take my hand and allow me to introduce you to a group of boys that together shine bright.
Well some of you are familiar with the 5 and some are not. Either way what are your views on this blog or what group do you think shines bright? As Children or adults?? I'm open to all of your comments. Thanks for reading!
It's always a good thing to look back and give credit to those who blazed a path for future generations...in this case, musicians...to follow. The Jackson 5 were great indeed. What is your favorite song by them?
ReplyDeleteThey definately were a great group. All of their songs are great. My choice of favorite songs changes over time but I'd have to say as of now my favorite song is "Mamma's Pearl". Thank you for commenting!
DeleteWow my mom used to love this group! its sad that mj died because this group had so much good music and probably could have done a reunion this year.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I will ever stop loving this group! It was a very sad day when Michael died. It will be three years next month. Actually they are having a reunion this year. It called the "Unity" and it will have the remaining brothers. I really wish Michael could see it. They are suposed to be in Atlanta this summer. I wish I could go see them. Thanks for commenting!
